give maxey a rest day…I’m going to Saturday’s game & need him with fresh legs.

I'm going to Sundays game so they should just rest him Saturday

VJ, Oubre, Watford, and Grimes combine for 80+ points tonight and we sneak out a win!

No defense and costly turnovers not good

Watford looks like a PG.

Watford should be the starting 4 when PG is back. He is a better player and plays seamlessly with whoever is on the court. Connector guy.

They came back with the Watford minutes.

Down 26 in the 4th on a back to back and Maxey is still in.

This team is so much better without Embiid

Sarcasm? When you don't know ball...

Not saying they suck, but I think we got a little too hyped a little too fast.

The real issue is that Edgecombe may still be a future stud, but he’s not ready to be a present star. His first game is going to be far from common this year. When he’s ready, it’s going to be awesome with Maxey. But for now, it’s going to be flashes.

And the other guys…they are depth who will shine sometimes and dim sometimes. Complimentary pieces.

Jabari Walker keeps starting and barely getting any minutes. If they know he sucks so bad, why does he start? Also Bona, 18 minutes, 4 boards, 0 blocks. He is supposed to do 2 things, and he is not doing them enough. Total suckage from those two again. Worst +/- in the starting lineup.

Drummond 13 and 13 double double, with 2 blocks. Delivered.

Grimes 27 bench points. Delivered.

Watford, beautiful, efficient backup "PG" game. 5 OF 8 shooting. 16 points and 6 assists.

There is potential for this roster to be excellent, but its maddening how stupid Nurse is with rotations and figuring out how to use his players. Or, not figuring out how to use his players is more like it.

Yeah. Edgecombe began deferring a lot as soon as Embiid got healthy and on the court a few games ago. Embiid did not play tonight. Edgecombe took enough shots, but couldnt make any. Theres always games like that for young guys. Heck Maxey still had a few clunkers last year.
